HAMBURG, NY – On Wednesday, Union Pleasant Elementary School teacher Madison Reardon received classroom supplies for her students through RoRo’s Gift, hosted by Rosaic.
- RoRo’s Gift brings joy to students and teachers
- Jahanna and Kyle Kurtz, founders of Rosaics, presented the first gift to a special education teacher
- The gift contains sensory items that enhance the learning experience
- Teachers are grateful for the funds to provide these resources
- RoRo’s Gift makes a difference in classrooms
Founders JaHanna and Kyle Kurtz created their clothing brand Rosaic to raise awareness of Down syndrome and other special abilities after their son Roman was diagnosed with T-21 Down syndrome at birth.
Reardon was allowed to receive the boxes of sensory items because she was nominated by her classmates.
“The administration nominates the teachers and then we randomly decide who receives the gift,” JaHanna said.
JaHanna says Reardon was the perfect choice because the sensory items can be hard to get.
“There are some things that teachers can’t afford. A lot of sensory things, noise-cancelling headphones, and things with textures. I think being able to do that with those tools really enriches the teacher experience in the classroom,” JaHanna said.

Reardon is counting down the days until school starts and is looking forward to seeing the smiling faces of her students.
“I am so grateful for RoRo’s gift. It’s like Christmas. I can’t wait to see the joy on my students’ faces,” Reardon said.
